    Vincent Browne promises to chair a real debate about the issues that matter.

    This should be good, as VB famously made Dana upset after he interviewed her in 1997. Basically, he didn't accept any of her waffle and she played the sympathy card.

    All of the candidates have to put in a strong performance as opinion polls are doing their research around now for the Sunday papers.

    I always get upset when he starts a sentence saying 'on the evening of the 28th September 2008...'.
    He'll get it in tonight again, I know it, and he'll start with Dana. ;)

    Browne said there won't be any one to one interviews and the candidates are able to debate among themselves. They'll have to be careful not to come across as angry, negative and aggressive when doing this (hint hint Mitchell).

    Well I do have a thing for Miriam (a strange odd hetro crush like I think it's because I live in the country now and my gayness is wearing off due to lack of jiggy jigs)

    But I would like someone other than Brown his voice gets on my nerves and I hate the way he asks a question but doesn't let the interviewee answer it

    Why is Dana brining up negative equity? The presedent has no power to change anything.

    A touch perhaps but I think his aim was to break the ice and have the candidates at ease.

    I thought so. You got the sense straight away that it wasn't a serious program and debate with VB making jokes at the start.

    Mitchell has no answer when McG's avg wage offer is discussed.
    Mitchell won't publish his EU expenses and actively voted against disclosure of tehm at the EU parliament!

    The obscene wage being rejected gets my vote.
